STATE of TENNESSEE V. HENRY LEE JONES IN THE SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE AT JACKSON April 9, 2014 Session STATE OF TENNESSEE v. HENRY LEE JONES Automatic Appeal from the Court of Criminal Appeals Criminal Court for Shelby County No. 0306997 John P. Colton, Jr., Judge No. W2009-01655-SC-DDT-DD - Filed September 25, 2014 The defendant was indicted for two first degree murders in Shelby County. During the trial, the court allowed the jury to hear evidence of a third murder allegedly committed by the defendant in a different state, ruling that the out-of-state murder qualified as a “signature crime” and was relevant to the issue of identity. The defendant was convicted as charged and received a sentence of death for each offense. In a divided opinion, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed. Because the out-of-state murder did not qualify as a signature crime and, under these circumstances, the danger of unfair prejudice outweighed the probative value of the evidence, the trial court erred by allowing the proof of the third murder. Because the error does not qualify as harmless, the convictions must be reversed and a new trial must be granted. On remand, the State may again seek the death penalty for each offense. Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-206(a)(1) (2014); Judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals Reversed; Case Remanded to the Trial Court GARY R. WADE, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which JANICE M.

Smith, Associate Solicitor General; Leslie E. Price, Senior Counsel; William L. Gibbons, District Attorney General; and Thomas D. Henderson and John Campbell, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee. OPINION I. Facts and Procedural History On the afternoon of August 23, 2003, Margaret Coleman stopped by to check on her sixty-six-year-old mother, Lillian James, and her eighty-two-year-old step-father, Clarence James, at their home in Bartlett. The front door was partially open, and there were linens, papers, and other items strewn about the house, which was ordinarily neatly maintained. When she called out for her mother and received no response, she dialed 911. Officers with the Bartlett Police Department soon arrived and discovered the bodies of the victims inside the house. Both victims had incision wounds on the neck, among other injuries. There were also signs of strangulation. An extensive investigation led the police to develop Henry Lee Jones (the “Defendant”) as the primary suspect. On October 7, 2003, the Shelby County Grand Jury indicted the Defendant for two counts of first degree premeditated murder and two counts of first degree felony murder. Later, the Defendant was arrested in Florida. The State filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty. A. Tennessee Rule of Evidence 404(b) Hearing On July 19, 2004, the State filed a “Notice of Intention to Use Evidence of Proof of Other Crimes in Order to Establish Identity.” In particular, the State sought to introduce evidence that the Defendant killed Carlos Perez in a motel room in Melbourne, Florida, four days after the murders of Mr. and Mrs. James. While acknowledging that Tennessee Rule of Evidence 404(b) prohibits the admission of evidence of other crimes to show action in conformity with a character trait, the State asserted that the modus operandi in the Perez murder and was so distinctive and so strikingly similar to the modus operandi in the James murders that proof of the Perez murder was admissible as evidence on the issue of identity. The State later amended its notice, seeking to also introduce evidence that the Defendant, using a similar modus operandi, had killed another individual, Keith Gross, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on September 7, 2002, approximately one year prior to the murders of Mr. and Mrs. James. In order to determine whether the proof surrounding the Perez and Gross murders qualified for admission under Tennessee Rule of Evidence 404(b), the trial court conducted a pre-trial hearing. The terms of Rule 404(b) provide context for the purpose of the hearing: Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity with the character trait. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes. The conditions which must be satisfied before allowing such evidence are: (1) The court upon request must hold a hearing outside the jury’s -2- presence; (2) The court must determine that a material issue exists other than conduct conforming with a character trait and must upon request state on the record the material issue, the ruling, and the reasons for admitting the evidence; (3) The court must find proof of the other crime, wrong, or act to be clear and convincing; and (4) The court must exclude the evidence if its probative value is outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice. At the Rule 404(b) hearing, a proceeding which involved five days of testimony, Tevarus Young, a witness for the State, testified that in August of 2003 he was homeless and had spent a night at a park in Fort Lauderdale. He recalled that when he awoke he was confronted by the Defendant, who was driving a light-beige, four-door Dodge. According to Young, the Defendant introduced himself as “Bambam” and offered to pay Young for oral sex. Young agreed, got into the car, and was driven to a McDonald’s Restaurant. The Defendant then took Young on a series of errands, stopping by a woman’s residence to make a phone call, visiting two pawn shops, and driving to a courthouse in Miami to pay some traffic tickets. According to Young, the Defendant then drove “to some warehouses where [Young] performed oral sex on him.” Afterward, the Defendant gave Young twenty dollars and asked him if he would like to meet some women the Defendant knew in Daytona. Young agreed. After stopping to pick up some clothes at the residence of Young’s grandmother, the two men traveled approximately 250 miles north to meet two otherwise unidentified women called “Toosie” and “Tawana.” The Defendant left with Toosie, and Young spent the night with Tawana. When the Defendant and Toosie returned the next morning, they were arguing. Although Young claimed that he wanted to stay in Daytona and start a new life with Tawana, the Defendant convinced him to leave so they could visit some of his relatives. Although he did not know where they were going, Young recalled that the Defendant drove for “[m]aybe a day, a day and a half.” Young fell asleep during the latter part of the trip, and when he awoke he was alone in the car, which was parked in front of a Burger King Restaurant in Bartlett, Tennessee. He remembered that a Burger King employee approached the car, asked for the Defendant, and left. Eventually, Young went inside the Burger King and saw the same employee having a conversation with the Defendant. A different employee brought them some food and, after their meal, the Defendant drove to a nearby apartment complex and parked his vehicle. -3- Young and the Defendant got out of the car and encountered an elderly African- American man, later identified as Mr. James, who was sitting in his garage. The Defendant said, “Hey, Pops, how are you doing?” Mr. James then informed the Defendant that he had just been released from the hospital and was waiting for a man to come and mow his lawn. Young claimed that he offered to mow the lawn for free, but that Mr. James asked only that he move the lawnmower from the front yard to the back yard. Young testified that when he returned to the front yard, neither the Defendant nor Mr. James were in sight and the garage door was closed. Young knocked on the front door, but received no answer. When he walked inside, he saw the Defendant with a bloody rope and two bloody towels in his hand. According to Young, the Defendant then entered one of the rooms, threw to the floor an elderly woman, later identified as Mrs. James, and shouted, “[O]ld lady, do you know what time it is, do you know what time it is[?] . [W]here’s your purse? . [W]here’s the money?” When, in response, Mrs. James pointed the Defendant to another room, he tied her arms and legs, took off her rings, and directed Young to sit in a chair by the door. As the Defendant left the room to look for the purse, Mrs. James asked Young if they were going to kill her. When Young answered that he thought that the Defendant was related to her, Mrs. James explained that she did not even know the Defendant. According to Young, the Defendant returned, picked up Mrs. James, and used her body to push Young into the hallway and then into a bedroom. Young testified that the Defendant threw Mrs. James to the floor, placed the rope around her neck, choked her by pressing his foot into the back of her neck, and then cut her neck with a knife, killing her. The Defendant explained to Young that Mrs. James had seen his face. Young stated that the Defendant then went to another part of the house and returned with a plastic grocery bag.

  • Women's Experimental Cinema
    FILM STUDIES/WOMEN’S STUDIES BLAETZ, Women’s Experimental Cinema provides lively introductions to the work of fifteen avant- ROBIN BLAETZ, garde women filmmakers, some of whom worked as early as the 1950s and many of whom editor editor are still working today. In each essay in this collection, a leading film scholar considers a single filmmaker, supplying biographical information, analyzing various influences on her Experimental Cinema Women’s work, examining the development of her corpus, and interpreting a significant number of individual films. The essays rescue the work of critically neglected but influential women filmmakers for teaching, further study, and, hopefully, restoration and preservation. Just as importantly, they enrich the understanding of feminism in cinema and expand the ter- rain of film history, particularly the history of the American avant-garde. The essays highlight the diversity in these filmmakers’ forms and methods, covering topics such as how Marie Menken used film as a way to rethink the transition from ab- stract expressionism to Pop Art in the 1950s and 1960s, how Barbara Rubin both objecti- fied the body and investigated the filmic apparatus that enabled that objectification in her film Christmas on Earth (1963), and how Cheryl Dunye uses film to explore her own identity as a black lesbian artist. At the same time, the essays reveal commonalities, in- cluding a tendency toward documentary rather than fiction and a commitment to nonhi- erarchical, collaborative production practices. The volume’s final essay focuses explicitly on teaching women’s experimental films, addressing logistical concerns (how to acquire the films and secure proper viewing spaces) and extending the range of the book by sug- gesting alternative films for classroom use.

    IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT KNOXVILLE July 24,2007 Session STATE OF TENNESSEE V. GEORGE ARTHUR LEE SMITH, NATHANIEL (“NAT”) ALLEN, AND SHANNON LEE JARNIGAN Direct Appeal from the Criminal Court for Hamblen County Nos. 05CR239, 05CR429, 05CR240 James Edward Beckner, Judge No. E2006-00984- CCA-R3-CD - Filed November 19, 2007 A Hamblen County jury convicted each Defendant of one count of first degree premeditated murder and each was sentenced to life in prison. On appeal, the Defendants contend the following: (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain their convictions; (2) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the jury’s finding that Hamblen County was a proper venue for this case; (3) the trial court erred when it denied the Defendants’ motion for change of venue; (4) the trial court erred when it consolidated the Defendants’ cases for trial; (5) the trial court improperly accepted the State’s peremptory challenges of two potential jurors; (6) the trial court improperly allowed a juror to remain on the panel when the juror should have been disqualified for actual bias or prejudice; (7) the trial court improperly admitted an audio recording of a conversation between Defendants Smith and Jarnigan; and (8) the trial court improperly admitted evidence about Defendant Allen’s prior criminal charge for delivery of cocaine.

Hingham Boys Hockey Division 1 State Champs Sponsored by A Special Supplement to Hingham’s Hometown Newspaper since 1827 Page 2 • Hingham Boys Hockey Division 1 State Champs • 2015 Coach’sCoach’s ForewordForeword he rich tradition of Harbormen Hockey has been shaped over the course of the past 80 years by the many skilled and talented ath- Tletes who have worn the red and white. As coaches, we are just caretakers of this program and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with so many great players and quality people over the years. In addition, the passion and support extended to our program by the school administration, players families, alumni and the Hingham community is second to none year after year… as evidenced by the throng of Hingham fans at each tournament game and most especially this year’s state cham- pionship game at TD Garden.
